Best Gift to Give in 2020

12/17/2019

0 Comments

It is that time of year where we look for the perfect gift to give to our loved ones.
What if there were a gift that you could give that would not only be the BEST gift you can give but also the gift that allows you to receive more than you may have ever thought possible?

While your loved ones may not be formally asking for this gift, I know that in their hearts, it is what they would truly like, even love, to receive from you. And they may not thank you right away for this gift, but in the future, they will look back and be grateful that you chose to give them this gift. 

This gift requires more than a shopping trip, it will require a deep desire to truly want to deliver this gift all year long.

What could this gift possibly be, that would be so fulfilling and even life changing?

How to Handle Family Competition

I had a parent ask me a few weeks ago, "How do I nurture a noncompetitive family?"
 
Have you had to deal with sibling rivalry or do your kids compete with their peers and it makes you wonder if it is good for them or not? 

The issue of competition, especially among siblings, is as old as dirt. And yet, I wonder if it isn't time to use these conflicts to teach our kids about a different possibility. 

This week's Be You Parenting radio show focused on competition. In dealing with this issue, the first place to look is at the parent's concept and experience of competition and how that may be contributing to the destructive competition the children are expressing. 

One thing to keep in mind, is that not all sibling spats are bad, or that you should try to eliminate them altogether. These experiences can be the teaching platform where you guide your children into more awareness, empathy, and empowerment to handle these situations differently. This will prepare them for the outside world where people are all different and don't always get along. 

Here are some tips for handling competition within your family:

Most parents don't think of themselves as being magical or even being a wizard when it comes to parenting. But what if we allowed ourselves to step into the world of wonderment and awe and begin to expected wonderful unexpected surprises?

What we believe parenting has to be affects how we experience it. If you believe that parenting is hard and can't be full of fun and excitement, then what you will experience is difficulty and challenges that feel overly hard to you. I will be the first to admit that parenting presents challenges. It's all about how we handle those challenges.

The Magic of Curiosity

9/9/2019

Curiosity is often an under-used element used in parenting. When it comes to being a parent, we tend to push off being curious, instead filling it with a need to be right. As parents, we pressure ourselves to have all the answers when our children approach us with questions or problems. We may find that we use our “rightness” to also assume that we do know everything and that our kids don’t know anything. This leaves very little room for the magic of curiosity to come to live.

Cyber Awareness with Your Child

8/21/2019

 Children of all ages are now using devices, not just phones but also Ipads and Games.  You may need to get more educated on what the concerns are by reading up on the different devices and the pros and cons associated with each one. When you know what your options are, and have talked with your child, you can choose from a variety of ways to help your child use these devices with the awareness that they can invite harm and unsafe situations. 

Have you had a cyber-chat with your kids? As you talk with them, you may find it more empowering not to instill any fear or consequences, but rather to ask questions about what they know and what are they aware of.

​This is another opportunity to empower your child. It may also be a good place for parents to become more aware of the ways that they choose to use technology. ​What if using technology need not be a thing to fear but to be in awareness of just like everything else in life?   ​
 
In addition to being in the know about each type of device, you may want to use the following as a guide when talking to your child. It is recommended that you not just have this chat once, but continue to revisit it as you gain more knowledge.
